In need of 'Power n Performance' (Part II)

"Mean stock machine"

When I bought my 4th luvbug two years ago, a ’73 Jeans Beetle she had D code 34hp 1200CC engine. But to get more power out and also to run economically, I did her few mods...

1. Standard oil ignition coil replaced with a dry coil.


2. Bosch WR8AP Platinum spark plugs.


3. Mallory SPRINT WIRE® 8MM YELLOW SILICONE JACKETED plug wires.


4. Stock oil bath air filter replaced with a cone filter.


5. Doghouse oil cooler.


6. 7/16” Rocker cover breather vents.


7. Modified equal length single out exhaust - Spiral flow muffler (1.5” tubing, 2” collector, 4” muffler out)


8. RPM/Oil Temp/Volt Meter Gauges.

I had no way of checking the actual gain/output from those, guess I get the max out of it. Probably about 10 horses more for sure!
